Carnival Time

When Kailani emailed and asked me to participate in a carnival, I was a little confused.  There’s no cotton candy, and there are no rides. . . but there are prizes and tons of great writing.  If you’re interested and don’t already have enough blogs to read, check it out.  Anyone can participate. . .

Take me to the Carnival of Family Life. . .

Just to update you. . . the little summer flu we’ve got going on here is none other than the Coxsackie Virus.  If you’ve been fortunate enough to avoid ever having it or watching your kids go through it, consider yourself extremely lucky.  Lil C is on the mend and finally ate some solid food today.  Her throat, like her mama’s last week, was just too sore to get anything besides fluids down the chute.  So far, Big I and Mr. BBM have avoided it.  We’re hoping our bout with it is soon over. 

Edited to add:  As of this evening, Big I has a fever of 100.  Will it never end?

  2. Glad to learn that Lil C is better now. It’s such a heartache to hear babies falling ill. I really wish we have something to wipe out all the nasty virus that attack children!

  8. Oh, goodness, that’s definitely one sickness I hope to avoid. I’m glad Lil C is feeling better- but poor Big I! I hope it passes quickly and only gets passed around this once. Lots of hugs to you!
